Ingredients

2 cups almond milk (can be substituted with any dairy-free milk)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (adds warmth)
1 teaspoon ground ginger (offers a zesty kick)
1 teaspoon ground cardamom (infuses a unique flavor)
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (enhances cozy vibes)
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (brings depth to spice blend)
2 tablespoons maple syrup (for natural sweetness)
1 bag black tea (adds chai flavor)
1/2 cup chia seeds (creates pudding texture)

Instructions

Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine the almond milk, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, and cloves. Heat over medium-high heat, whisking continuously until the mixture starts to simmer.
Step 2: Once it reaches a gentle boil, remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup.
Step 3: Add the black tea bag to the warm mixture and let it steep for 15 minutes as it cools.
Step 4: Remove the tea bag, then stir in the chia seeds until well combined.
Step 5: Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then stir gently again to prevent clumping.
Step 6: Pour the pudding into a glass container and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Step 7: Serve plain or topped with your favorite fruits, nuts, or coconut chips for added texture and flavor.

Tips & Variations

For a stronger chai flavor, use two tea bags or steep the tea longer.
Swap maple syrup with honey or agave nectar to adjust sweetness.
Add a splash of vanilla extract for an extra layer of aroma.
Top with fresh berries or toasted nuts for added crunch and nutrition.

Storage

Store the chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Stir gently before serving. Leftovers can be enjoyed cold or allowed to sit at room temperature for a few minutes if you prefer a softer texture.

FAQs

Can I use other types of milk for this recipe?

Yes, any dairy-free milk such as coconut, oat, or cashew milk works well and can subtly change the flavor to your liking.
